House Democrats Introduce Bill That Would Give Amnesty to Millions of Illegal Aliens

Six House Democrats introduced a bill that would provide a path to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants.

The reintroduction of the Renewing Immigration Provisions of the Immigration Act of 1929 would allow people who entered the country before a certain date to become legal citizens.

“While the extreme MAGA Republicans make dozens of trips to the border and perform other political stunts, my colleagues and I are once again focusing on immigration action by reintroducing this commonsense registry legislation that is simply an update of the law that was first put in place in 1929,” Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said.

“As our predecessors in the 70th Congress understood, providing stability to those who are of good character and who have resided here for a significant period of time is good for America. Updating this historically bipartisan provision to provide lawful permanent resident status to vetted immigrants who have been a part of our communities for years will make our country stronger,” she continued.

The updated bill could “provide up to 8 million immigrants the ability to access permanent residency,” according to supporters.

“It expands a pathway to permanency for millions of long-term U.S. residents,” it added.

The new amnesty bill is certain to be opposed by Republicans in the House and Senate.

The Senate could support the measure under its Democratic majority but the House is another matter. With only a slim Republican majority, a few party members flipping their votes could make the difference.

Expect the battle to kick into high gear on the issue as both parties battle over the legistlation in the days ahead.
